The past is often an inspiration for the future in relation to design. The ability to look back and re-create garments from distant days serves as a refreshing injection of originality; offering a fresh perspective on the current array of mundane ideas. This ideology is exactly what Umbro have used to rediscover two of its most iconic items with the helping hand of knitwear specialist John Smedley. Unearthed from the Umbro archives, the design team encountered two pieces from the 1940’s. Originally a warm up top in 1948 – the re-make preserves most of its original characteristics from its predecessor, featuring a distinctively retro cut. Crafted from John Smedley’s sea island cotton in a 24 gauge knit, the updated model is available in a dark navy and features an intricate array of details. From ribbed cuffs to a mid-zip detail and a concealed pocket, the field sweater to has a distinctively functional edge. Fabricated from a 30 gauge cotton, this three button t-shirt features a round collar inspired by competitive vest used during the era. Utilising the tones of red, white and blue, the Tangeru staples these patriotic colours to its chest in a horizontal formation – rejoicing the vintage notions of athletics.

I’ve always been fascinated by the style in New York. Knockout Artist Rolando Romero T-shirt Even before I moved to the city, I always made a point of stalking what the stylish set was wearing and shopping. NYC girls are always first to test-drive the newest emerging trends, and the city is a breeding ground for fashion’s latest It items. But as trendy as the style may be here, it’s never not practical. So you can imagine that when I started seeing an It bag emerge as a favorite among my peers, I was all over it. What’s the next It bag that’s winning over fashion people in New York? Meet Mansur Gavriel’s Candy Bag. Launched amid New York Fashion Week’s return to in-person shows last month, the bag could be seen on a number of editors and influencers running in between shows and appointments. I even got my hands on it, and I am pleased to share that it’s quickly become my go-to. Not only does it fit all the essentials, but the patent finish makes it the perfect addition to any fall ‘fit, and its midrange price tag makes it significantly more accessible than most designer It bags. As our senior editor Allyson Payer already noted, the Candy Bag is one we can see ourselves reaching for so often that we forget our other bags exist.
